Having looked at Zip in some detail, we take a brief look at some of Unzip’s commonly used qualifiers and their UN*X-like equivalents, then review how to unpack an OpenVMS .ZIP archive. Lastly, we look at unpacking on OpenVMS a .ZIP archive that was created on another (non-VMS) operating system.

Provided an OpenVMS workstation is available, we will then look at Zip and Unzip in action, using DIRECTORY/FULL, DUMP/BLOCK and DUMP/RECORD to examine the data before and after being compressed and decompressed.
